Embodying Boundaries

The term boundaries is a well-known and used term in the field of psychotherapy and counselling. This workshop will give you the opportunity to explore your felt experience of your boundaries using Equine Assisted Psychotherapy.

Join us for some space to reflect on:
What do boundaries mean to you?
What do your personal boundaries feel like?
What does it feel like when your boundaries have been crossed?
How might becoming more aware of your embodied boundaries impact and support your therapeutic practise?

Embodying Self-care

Walking the Labyrinth

Do you want clarification of an issue, dilemma or question? Come meet the herd and spend time connecting with the horses and the land. Choose your equine companion and walk the labyrinth together in contemplation seeking clarity for your ongoing journey.

The classic ancient labyrinth was not a maze to get lost in. It had only one path, traversing all parts of the figure. Such labyrinths were meant for ceremonial walking. Symbolically it is seen as a return to the centre, a movement into death and being reborn or going inwards and then outwards.
